Viral Video Shows Slow Mo Guys Wax Their Legs At 28,000fps

Trending News: Watch And Cringe As These Dudes Wax Their Legs In Extreme Slow-Mo

Quick Take

Honestly, I had low expectations when I clicked on this video, but leg waxing has never been so epic. What happens is: a couple of British bros with a YouTube channel, Gavin Free and Daniel Cruchy, go about waxing their legs and taking a video of it. But, the hook is that they've got a souped up camera that can shoot at 28,000fps. You probably haven't seen much video this slow and this close up, but it's extremely slow and extremely close up. After the guy builds up the guts to put the wax on his hairy thigh and pull the trigger, you can see each individual black and curly tear from the skin causing a ripple effect. It's dramatic and really hard not to cringe while walking. Although, it's definitely one of those things you can't look away from.

For any camera buffs out there, the video also offers a pretty neat lesson in lens technology. Gav, shows that if you flip the lens around and hold it up to the camera, it'll allow the lens to get in focus even closer. So, he tried it out and got an even more epic slow-mo video of the hair waxing. Cool stuff, but I think I'll leave my leg hair the way it is thank you very much.
